August C. Helmholz, 2d, '36, and James J. Thackarn '36, seeded fourth, won the University doubles tennis tournament by defeating Frank W. Jones, Jr. '35, and Sumner Rodman '35, seeded third, 6-2, 6-4, in the finals played indoors at Brookline...
William Graham Sumner was a great teacher. Mr. Keller is an apt, therefore a reverent, pupil. And in this little book, the disciple has painted the master and the man, wholly, alive, with appropriate sentiment. Mr. Keller disclaims all intent of order.

Menocal, onetime President of Cuba (1913-21). General Menocal deceived nobody when he proclaimed: "I probably have less personal ambition than...
...young writers who frisk it in their new-found freedom, few kick higher heels than Erskine Caldwell, husky 30-year-old Georgian, the Methodist minister's son whose ribald God's Little Acre (TIME, Feb. 20) fell foul of Vice-Crusader John S. Sumner but was given a clean bill of health by the courts. Essentially a humorist, and of the earth earthly, he has not yet settled down to his role. Left wing critics have dragged tempting herrings across his track, calling him a heavyweight Red hope and trying to lure him into the ranks...
